ANOTHER STRONG SONG FROM U.K. DUO 'ECHOES':

I would say that the mysterious U.K. duo Echoes are one of my favourite new bands and I've only heard three songs by them. I'm hoping they get signed and/or release a debut album in 2011 all on their own.

Below you can listen to and download a seasonal song they've recorded called "Footprints", enjoy.

YEAR END LISTS AND A FEW GOOD NEW SONGS:

I've never been one for year end lists of favourite albums and songs but below is my attempt at it for this year. To me it is hard to come up with a list of favourite albums these days because I rarely listen to an album all the way through anymore which makes it hard to appreciate the lesser known songs. My favourite list is my list of albums due for release in 2011, looking forward to a lot of cool new releases this year.

Before my lists I wanted to mention a few new songs that I really like that I discovered in the last few weeks:

AUSTRALIA'S 'TIM & JEAN' ARE BACK WITH 'VERONICA':

Things are moving along well for Tim Ayre and Jean-Christophe Capotorto who make up the Australian electro pop duo of Tim & Jean. Their first single Come Around was fantastic and garnered lots of radio play from Australia's Triple J. The band has also been playing more live gigs recently and are scheduled to play the Goodvibrations Festival around Australia in February. The guys have signed to Mercury/Universal so hopefully they will get a decent amount of promotion for their debut album which could be out as early as February of 2011. The guys also have a penchant for doing covers from artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty and The Dave Matthews Band.

Their new single is called Veronica and is another slice of pop perfection and even has a guitar solo from Jean at the end. It is used in the video (below) of their recent trip to New York, check it out. I must say that their debut cd is highly anticipated by me along with the forthcoming cds by artists like Penguin Prison and Bright Light Bright Light. You can also follow them on Twitter.
